What is your preferred snippet plug-in?
I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

Why does tab sometimes send me to a random position in my buffer?
I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.

Which snippet plugin do you recommend?
I'm moving from coc.nvim to built-in LSP and thereby considering changing from UltiSnips to some other snippet plugin, preferably one written in Lua. I've found two different ones: snippets.nvim and LuaSnip. Is there anyone with more experience with either of them that can say whether they are mature enough yet to be used. Or do you recommend some other snippet plugin written in VimL?
